I would like to spend a little time discussing the importance of looking after your own health needs rather than depending solely on someone from the medical profession, to wit: sound nutrition and supplements. Seriously, who truly has a better interest in your health, you or some third party? I submit that you do, or if it is not you that it should indeed be you.

Who is Responsible for You?

To illustrate the validity of my contention I will share with you something I just heard on a television news station today (May 25, 2010). Donald Berwick, the nominee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has been quoted as saying:

“We can make a sensible social decision and say, ‘Well, at this point, to have access to a particular additional benefit [new drug or medical intervention] is so expensive that our taxpayers have better use for those funds.’ We make those decisions all the time. The decision is not whether or not we will ration care; the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.”

So, as a simpleton detective I would have to ask you, the jury, did you get it? “…the decision is not whether or not we will ration care–the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open.” In other words, there is no doubt in his mind that health care will be rationed; and he, as the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, will apparently set the policy concerning rationing.
Taking Responsibility:

Again I will ask you; if your body is racked with arthritis, and you need help for either a relief or a cure, and you cannot get in to see your doctor due to health care being rationed, what is your alternative? I suggest that the best alternative would be to not need the medical care in the first place. Sometimes, whether or not we need care is something out of our own control; but if there was a way to take it under your own control wouldn’t you want to know about it?

I have some great news for you! I too once suffered from arthritis and thought that I had no control over it. I did not even think there was an option for me. Fortunately, one day I accidentally got a good insider tip from a medical doctor. She told me how I could take control over my own arthritis problem by taking control of my nutritional habits!

As she suggested, I removed sugar from my diet and quickly found relief from arthritis by taking bad stuff out of my diet and putting good stuff in. You also have the right to choose how you will supply your body with the right nutrients and you can easily cut back on sugar with herbal supplements that stop your cravings. I suggest that you take control of your diet as soon as possible so you can stop being controlled by arthritis.
